I first met Peter about four or five years ago. There was not much timeto talk about photography, but I remember him showing me the bookwith pictures from Rotterdam. I was struck by the great quality ofPeter´s work and his pictures stayed with me a long time. So, by pureaccident, we happened to meet in Stockholm the other day. I toldPeter about The F Blog and he agreed to participate with a seriesof pictures.

I am glad to be able to show some of his work here.

Peter was a student at the almost legendary Christer Strömholm´sPhoto School (Fotoskolan) from 1971-73.

At the exhibition "Christer Strömholm - Lebenswerk und Fotoschule"in Berlin 2003 Peter de Ru was one the former students at Fotoskolanwho exhibited their work along with Strömholms pictures. The otherswere Anders Petersen, Gunnar Smoliansky, Dawid, Kenneth Gustavssonand Ulla Lemberg.

The exhibition was a great success and the newpaper Tagesspiegel calledit the most important in Berlin during the spring of 2003.

Back to the pictures from Rotterdam. And back to a text by Peter Cornelltranslated to German.

"The Black Swan" is my favourite, although the set is perfect. tells the stroey from A to Z with every interesting aspect, every delicate sense. great wow for it is a good journalism! and the swan really rocks!!!!!

-Oh...the sensation of the roaring sea in the first one really grips me! When it is that windy that the tips of the waves blows of and creates a aerosol in the air...and the massivness of the steel boats.
